In a candid reflection, Meghan Markle recently shared insights from her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, revealing a glimpse into her mindset during that pivotal moment.
The Duchess of Sussex recounted how the Queen encouraged her to continue her acting career, saying, “You can carry on being an actress if you’d like.
That’s your profession, after all.” Meghan couldn’t help but chuckle at the Queen’s sweet sentiment, but she also felt a twinge of irony.
After all, her acting career was hanging by a thread.
With a laugh, Meghan described her thoughts at that moment: “Oh my God, you’re so sweet!
Thank you so much!” But beneath that polite exterior, she was grappling with the reality of her situation.
She admitted, “I have no prospects.
I barely was hanging on to that show—Suits, for crying out loud.” It was a stark admission that the glamorous life many associate with Hollywood wasn’t quite as rosy for her.
The struggle was real, and Meghan painted a vivid picture of her precarious position.
“I was hanging on by the skin of my chinny-chin-chin,” she confessed, emphasizing the desperation of her circumstances.
With no clear path ahead, she felt the pressure to find stability, leading her to question her options.
“What was I going to do?
Go do another 90210 parking lot scene?” she mused, highlighting the limited opportunities available to her at the time.
Meghan’s reflections also touched on the broader struggles faced by those in the entertainment industry.
She expressed frustration over the lack of understanding from outsiders regarding her journey.
“Do they have any idea the struggles that I’ve been through?
Do they know my history?” she challenged, suggesting that many fail to grasp the complexities of her experiences.
The Duchess of Sussex didn’t shy away from discussing the realities of her daily life, either.
